Despite the disfiguation plot line I've still seen better
28 November 2022
Adapted from the novel "The Three Worlds of Johnny Handsome" by John Godey which opens as already disfigured man .John Sedley (Mickey Rourke) planning a heist with some new supposedly trusted recruits of Sunny (Ellen Barkin) and Rafe(Lance Henrickson). Once he is double crossed and is sent to prison, doctor (Forest Whitaker) informs him he could do a proper dis-infiguration on his face with an entire new identity. He is then looks like any normal human being so he names himself Johnny Handsome seeking retribution on the 2 people who double crossed him.

I did not care for the movie upon watching it back in 1989, I did not care about it upon watching it again in 2022. The movie is predictable if you've seen enough enough movies about the subject like "Point Blank" 1956 "The Killing", "The Getaway" with McQueen, and newer movies like "Baby Driver", "The Italian Job" to "Ronin".
